Текст песни: I Saw the Bombs Fall + перевод

I awoke from a nightmare

In a fit consciousness now

Cold sweat and colder air

Blinding flashes cast a shadow

Before the sound hit the square

The end of it all

They kept it from your TV screens; A sleight of hand

I dreamt of a lifeless rock; A cratered wasteland

It’s not just an alternate reality

I saw the bombs fall

It’s not just overseas

I saw the bombs fall

Are we really that far away?

Am I naive to think

That this is only a dream?

Is it really too hard to recall what brought the end of it all?

We lost our chance to rewrite history

Rewrite history

A path void of heroes

The abysmal waste of what could have been

Discerning only ones and zeros

There’s no space between for them

Peel back what covers your ears

Hear that a nation is crying out for mercy (Mercy)

Before it’s too late for them to raise the sound

Mercy

Before it’s too late for them

Mercy

Are we really that far away?

Am I naive to think

That this is only a dream?

Is it really too hard to recall what brought the end of it all?

We lost our chance

We lost our chance to rewrite history

Between the bodies in trenches and the blustery sky

It’s not just overseas; I saw the bombs fall

I saw the bombs fall
